Who should consider becoming a member of the OSGi Alliance and why?
Any company in a value chain that produces or uses software can benefit from alliance membership. OSGi Alliance members determine how and when the OSGi Service Platform and specifications will be upgraded, expanded and enhanced, which can benefit the production and provisioning of member companies’ offerings. Vertical and cross-industry needs are served through “expert groups” that tailor the platform without compromising the integrity of the OSGi Service Platform architecture. Current expert groups include the Mobile Expert Group, Vehicle Expert Group and Core Platform Expert Group; members propose and establish charters for new EGs. Only members’ software products are qualified for OSGi certification. Certification assures manufacturers and service providers that certified OSGi technology-based components are interoperable, reliable and secure.
